Eventually, they traced the woman back to Algonquin, Ill., where she lived with her mother, Eva Cameron. Cameron returned to Tennessee briefly, but told authorities she was not interested in taking her daughter home with her.

Since being abandoned in Campbell County, Lynn Cameron has been in the custody of the Tennessee Department of Human Services. She has been staying at the Michael Dunn Center in Roane County.

Now, though, she will return to Illinois. At a hearing Wednesday, Judge John McAfee relieved the Tennessee Department of Human Services of legal custody for Lynn Cameron. The Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities will transport her to Illinois Thursday. Officials there say have located a suitable residence for her.

In August, the District Attorney's office in Tennessee will ask a grand jury to consider charging Eva Cameron with "willful exploitation of an impaired adult". That charge is a Class E felony.
